This movie is voluntarily bad but fun, unusual and exciting, it has no other purpose to entertain warned audiences. So please don't try to compare it with huge productions. This is a sort of domestic DH rip-off, because it doesn't take place in a huge building, nor aboard a plane or a ship, nor a submarine or a security complex facility, nor in a hospital or a train, nor in a factory or a garbage recycling center, BUT in a simple home - a kind of home invasion if you wish - by a bunch of lousy bad guys, and the development of the story is rather surprising too, with an Ice T as convincing as he was in Wally Hill's TRESSPASS, where he also co starred Tiny Lister as one of his accomplices. This story, I repeat, uses some lines of DIE HARD, and not only the basic scheme, but something else, and not in the same way as DH showed us. The main lead is definitely not the copycat, even the lousiest one, of John McLane. But I would say McLane and Hans Gruber in the same time !!! The perfect example of a grade B feature can bring us, because the tiny budget permits, allows the producers and writers, and also directors to take all the risks. After all, they have nothing to lose, only to win. Unlike huge productions that need gross at the end. and everyone knows that gross means to entertain the bulk of sheep idiotic audiences always asking for foreseeable things. I don't belong to this herd.
